The area around the mouth is particularly sensitive. The skin there is thin, naturally poorly protected, and produces little sebum. In addition, there are well-known external factors. For Dr. Anna Chacon, repeated sun exposure remains one of the main factors in accelerated skin aging: The fibers that provide elasticity and firmness to the skin gradually lose their quality.
Lifestyle also plays a crucial role. Certain habits intensify the repeated contraction of the lips and promote the formation of permanent wrinkles. Over time, the skin loses its elasticity after every movement, and wrinkles become visible even at rest. At this stage, cosmetic treatments alone are no longer sufficient.
Creams: useful, but not miraculous.
Creams and serums certainly have their place, especially for prevention or improving the overall appearance of the skin. They moisturize, temporarily smooth the skin, and increase comfort, but they cannot eliminate deep, existing wrinkles. Dermatologists emphasize that expecting dramatic results from a simple topical treatment often leads to disappointment.
When carefully selected, these products strengthen the skin and prolong the effects of in-office treatments. Vitamin C, niacinamide, or moisturizers are frequently recommended to keep skin softer and more radiant on a daily basis.
